Tag Archives: Tashima Meru

Does it feel too long since I released something! Well, partly because I’m a lazy bugger and partly because I feel like I’m holding on stuff for too long, I decided to give them to other subbing group so look out for more collaborations with a lot of subbing groups in the future! XD

This episode of AKB48 Show is entirely dedicated to HKT48 so when Nakama48 (a new subbing group that dedicates their time to sub AKB48 Show, check them out!) approached me to help them sub it, I can’t resist. 🙂

This sub is dedicated to another one of my donators, C.V.-san whose Oshimen is Tashima Meru! Again, he didn’t request it but I thought it would be nice to do something for my donators. (This is how I pay Mai too, I’m glad he accepts subbed videos as a form of payment).

Anyway, this video has the perfect amount of hilarity and sincerity, which you would expect nothing less from a HKT48 birthday celebration. I feel like Meru is someone who is wiser beyond her years but still give credence to her childishness. Meru shows her forward and grown up way of thinking in her speeches but becomes playful once you hand her a plastic toy.

Lastly, a special thanks to Mayuyu from AIDOL for fixing my English in the video. I hope you guys will enjoy watching just as much as I did subbing it.

This sub gets a rating of 90% “Honmayan” and 10% “Zettai uso ya wa”.Brought to you by [Half-Assed Subs], subs you can’t trust.

This episode is definitely the longest I ever sub something. First half was awesome with Mocchi’s pervertness but the second half was just a lot of talking. That took awhile. A long while.

Also, Lovetan is joining us from this episode onward.

Just one note, Chin chin densha is actually a tram/streetcar that got its name because of the bell that it rang (hence the “chin chin” or “ding ding/ding dong”). But “chin chin” is also a slang word for male genitalia. That’s why I translated it as such (you’ll find out when you watch). Kojiharu used to say it in Ariyoshi AKB Kyowakoku.

I’m experimenting with typesetting for this sub since there’s a lot of puns and explanations. Typing notes here will be too long anyway. Just the sub positions, no fancy styling or anything.

I’ve tested on several media players and some worked and some were wonky as hell. I figured I should just stop tweaking it and release it as it is. VLC player is fine though, MPC tend to make the subtitle go a little to the left. I give up.

So many talking parts in this episode… (^^;)

I give this sub a rating of 70% “Honmayan” and 30% “Zettai uso ya wa”.

This episode features two new members of 2nd Gen, Tashima Meru and Tomonaga Mio! Some might recognize Tashima from Morning Musume’s 10th Generation audition. And holy shit, she’s born in 2000? God, I feel so old right now.

A few notes:

Inoue Yousui is a singer-songwriter in Japan who has a unique way of talking.
